| VirtualPressRoom™ |
The
Dedicated Systems Gazette Online – our VirtualPressRoomTM – originated
as the online version of the Dedicated Systems Gazette.
Please note that we no longer encourage submission of press releases to
the magazine in printed form. The Gazette Online provides an excellent
method to obtain immediacy of exposure via electronic submission of
material (which can encompass both text and image data).
The number of press releases
has reach a total of 1350 in 2003 which makes on average more than 25
press releases on average per week.
All companies and organizations making part
of the dedicated systems’
market may freely publish their press releases. Subscribers will
however see this press releases appear in privileged pages or in a
priveleged order. This will of course generate more views than in the
other pages. Press releases
from subscribers also go to the e-gazette, a weekly distributed
e-letter.
Submitted announcements are available in Google the next day and stay there for years.
Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum
subscribers have access to the on-line real-time top 20 viewed press
releases and to the views of their individual press releases.
|
| e-Gazette |
Every week, (except in holiday
periods where the e-gazette is 2 weekly), an e-gazette is published
going to more than 4500 subscribed readers.
This e-gazette includes the
press releases of the subscribers. Each press release is put in a
category and the title points to the full release of the press release
on the website.
41% of the website visitors in the website have a full version of a press
release in the VirtualPressRoom™ as entry point of their visit.
Subscribers’ press releases have therefore a substantial higher viewing rate than non-subscribers.
|
| Player’s section |
Each player – company or organization – in the field of embedded
systems has the possibility to add freely his profile in our player’s section.
This is done using forms on our website interface. Your email address is used as
username and a password is sent to you.
The submitted information is
immediately on-line.
If you come back later in editing mode, you will be able to view the
number of page views during the current month and the previous month. |
| Sponsor Section |
Larger companies may take profit of the
Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum subscription level offering.
As such they
will be listed in our sponsor section including the company logos.
Platinum sponsors will be mentioned on priveleged pages of the website
and especially on the home page of the encyclopedia.
|
| Product catalog |
Once you introduced
your company or organization as a player, subscribers have the
possibility to introduce their product portfolio. Actually, only the
mezzanine board portfolio was permitted. However, due to the success of
the visitor’s figures in this very niche market, we decided to broaden
the spectrum of products.
The mezzanines websites count for 13500 visitors a month.
Both hardware and software products and
services will be listed in the new product catalog. The maximum number
of listed products or services depends on the subscription level. Small
companies with a very limited number of products and services just need
a very moderate budget to participate.
Example of the product catalog can be found today inside the mezzanine website. Each product or service is listed
with a short description and is then linked to a full description
webpage on your company website. The visitors are therefore ending up in your
place in the end. It is then up to you to capture this potential customer.
If you don’t have a serious company website yet with your full product
range displayed, we can propose you a temporarily hosting offer if
necessary, including visitor statistics and email alert during the
visit.
|
| RTOS buyer’s guide |
A special product catalog
is the RTOS buyer’s guide. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum
subscribers have the possibility to introduce the characteristics of
the RTOS they produce if this is applicable for their business.
|
| Website statistics |
Web statistics are a very good tool to understand the market and the market
tendencies. Dedicated Systems has no secrets. On-line access to the
full web-statistics is available for Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum
subscribers. An excerpt of the 2003 statistics can be found here.
Not only classical website statistics are available. Our highly
automated system permits to trace visitors for pages in the special
sections.
Special on-line statistics pages build in real-time from the
visitors’ data in the database are available.
Besides, each individual subscriber can see the monthly views of his
specific players’ page when he or she is in “editing” mode of this page. |
| Top 20 views |
Our database technology
continuously tracks the number of views on the different pages
requested by the visitors. These data is in real-time available in the
statistics section.
There are top 20 of views on products and services,
RTOS descriptions, players, press releases, and much more to come.
This
gives an excelling immediate view on the interest in a certain
announcement, product or company. Silver, Gold and Platinum subscribers
have access to these pages.

| Articles in the e-magazine |
| The e-magazines haves not yet become a great success. However we
believe that this vehicle is the right one to educate the readers about
the new technologies and methods offered in the marketplace. Good
quality articles should not necessarily be published in paper format.
Our comprehensive web interface permits to select the article of
interest. A PDF file is available with the same layout used previously
in the paper version of the magazine. The reader can print this out for
free insuring a wide coverage is insured. |
Banners in the html version of the e-gazette
|
On top of our html version of the e-gazette a banner including a
click through link can be placed. This service is included in the
subscription service. The banners are placed in a first request and paid – first
placed order for each individual week through the year. They may also be ordered separately.
|
| Banners in the website section |
| Each section in the website has the
capability to receive a different banner. Again here, the banners are
placed on a first request and paid – first placed cycle. They may also be ordered separately.
|
| Email blasts with e-gazette email list |
The weekly e-gazette in both text and html format is distributed only to people who subscribed to it.
Today, the e-gazette has more than 4500 subscribers.
These addresses are constantly checked and classified depending on the
owner address of the domain name. However, this list is also qualified
through a yearly re-subscription process. A little questionnaire is
joined to this re-qualification providing for updated market data. The
result of this data is automatically included in the Platinum
subscription. |
